Our Large indoor/outdoor Chess Set with 8 inch King contains oversized plastic chess pieces measuring from 4 to 8 inches tall and a 3 by 3 foot vinyl chess board with notation.

Enjoy it on the back lawn or in the family room! The suggested age is 8 and older, but we know of many who have purchased this for very young children as their first chess set because of its durability. It makes a great gift. Those of you who are experienced chess players will find a new element of fun and strategy as you use this set indoors or outside.

My whole family is crazy about chess and even I learned how to play this game from my grandfather. We all think it is very clever and stimulates the brain. So when we went to a villa to spend the holiday and saw a black and white checkered stone square in the patio we couldn’t help thinking about chess. It looked like the perfect board for a game of chess, even if the size was a bit different from what we normally use, but it seemed amazing to think you could use oversized chess pieces. I was curious enough to look for some on the Internet and, of course, I did find what I hoped. Actually I found more versions – huge chess pieces made of stone, plastic or wood.
